I received a good service event. It was right at the end of a timely basis.
I arrived early for my appointment and got my car in a little early, which was a nice surprise. Very professional and friendly staff. I had my oil changed twice there and they do a complete check and let me know about additional concerns that I needed to address. No hard pressure to do anything immediately.
I was looking for looking for a long time to find a good car repair shop and I think I found it. I brought both my cars there Toyota RAV4 and Kia Seltos. Both repairs were done quickly and with fair price. I like the quality of the service, speed, and honesty with upfront cost. Great and thorough inspection, quickly…
Great customer service, explains everything in detail easy to understand and zero pressure to set up future services or repairs. Waiting area clean and pleasant. Timely service preformed. Highly recommended this shop to everyone!
I found these guys through local social media and then I got a coupon in the mail and let me tell you these guys did not disappoint. Loved the pick up from them to get my car when they were done. Stayed in communication via text , went the extra mile to look at a potential problem and even sent me a picture. I’ll be going back!
Friendly and fast. Will come back! You get valuable coupons in the mail, especially on your birthday! They’ve always been professional, and now the shop inside is remodeled to match their quality and service!
We take our company vehicles here, so that's how I found this place and they are great! They let you know if anything is wrong and don't pressure you to get it fixed right away if it is something that can wait. They are very honest and super nice.
Great friendly service as always.
They went beyond what experience has been with other garages. 🙂
Jason is very friendly and he explains everything. I was in and out quickly. I asked for tire rotation but he explained I only had 1500 miles on my tires so didn't need it yet.
Great service! These guys do a great job and I recommend anyone. We had our service done on a 2024 Honda Pilot. They send a detailed email report.
They were very kind and helpful, The wait wasn’t too long. They were very good at communication. Did a good job. Price was good!!
Always greated with a smile. Friendly people and great service.
I wish he worked later one night, Saturday a m .
As usual, Josh and the team are always extremely nice and responsive to our needs. Service is prompt and reliable with great rates.

Friendly peeps/ honest service
Ideal Automotive has always been the best. They are able to communicate and fix issues promptly and thoroughly. They also have very competitive prices. I have tried many auto shops in the area over the years, but none compare to this shop. I endorse them 100%.

These guys were great! Fast and a great deal.
Fast and easy oil change and tire repair. Didn't try and upsell me on anything and price was great.
I bring my car, and my daughters, to Ideal for any issues, oil changes, or even questions. They always provide top notch service, they are honest and not pushy.
This place is great! They’re always able to get me in quickly and priced fairly.
Honest and reliable work
Got there early. They got me in right away and out. Great service.
I will never go to any other location for oil changes. Literally the best auto shop I have ever been to. They always have coupons on their website even with the really good prices. Customer service is always amazing!
Excellent service and very informative. Fast, friendly, and respectful. Complete diagnostic, brakes, light tune-up, oil change, filter(s). All done in less then 24 hours (amazing). I recommend Ideal Automotive without reservation.
All around good people here and I will keep coming back.
They did a great job. I had an oil change, tire rotation and then some radiator issues or coolant problem. They fixed it found the issue and had my car good as new. I would definitely recommend this place. 😊
I've been going here for about a year and always have a great experience. They're reliable, quick, and fairly priced! If you get their mailer, they always have great deals on oil changes. They're also very friendly!
I had a great experience at ideal! They fit us in right away, and as they were doing the oil change to my wife’s car, the man at the front desk help me diagnose my own vehicles issues and look stuff up for me. Great place to go!
Ideal did great work on our. We came in with no appointment, and they accommodated us, and were able to take us right away.
